jaeclecticBrilliantly decided 1/2 hour was enough time to put up xmas lights in front window, if I hurried.
Found extension cords, determined one bulb was burned out, found replacement bulbs. Couldn't get bulb out of socket. After several minutes, decided to try using needle nose pliers. Succeeded in breaking bulb. Eventually got stub of bulb out of socket, put in replacement bulb. It still doesn't light, obviously the problem is in the socket. Cheap lights, probably a fire hazard. OK, never mind, I'm putting them up anyway. Finally start climbing up on the back of the sofa to put lights up and realize that this is a completely stupid time to do so, because I have painfully bright sun directly in my eyes. Give up, wait until later.
So I am basically right where I started, except with tiny bits of broken glass strewn over my sofa.
